Adam Lallana: £25m
Our thoughts: £25m was too much when we signed him, and it’s certainly too much now, with Lallana approaching his 28th birthday. We’d value him closer to £15m.
Roberto Firmino: £35m
Our thoughts: Madly talented, but yet to show it consistently. £35m seems fair, but that’s the going rate for top playmakers and forwards now. It’s up to the Brazilian to prove his £29m transfer fee was a bargain.
Christian Benteke: £40m
Our thoughts: Eyebrows were raised about his £32.5m summer price-tag, so despite a promising start, £40m seems ambitious.
Coutinho: £55m
Our thoughts: Would you sell Coutinho for £55m? We certainly wouldn’t. Try doubling that before it’s even worth considering. It’ll be interesting to see what kind of offer Barcelona eventually come in with if our brilliant no.10 continues his meteoric rise. After selling Luis Suarez and Raheem Sterling though, Coutinho is flatly indispensable.
